The master of the police procedural
Mail on Sunday
Robinson is an author with amazing empathy, a snare-trap ear for dialogue, and a clear eye for the telling detail.
- Michael Connelly,
Move over Ian Rankin - there's a new gunslinger in town looking to take over your role as top British police procedural author. . . Chief Inspector Alan Banks emerges as a definite contender for fiction's new top cop
Independent on Sunday
Peter Robinson is a master.
- Tess Gerritsen,
Thrilling-brilliantly plotted, beautifully paced.
- Louise Penny,
It demonstrates how the crime novel, when done right, can reach parts that other books can't . . . A considerable achievement
Guardian
Near, perhaps even at the top of, the British crime writers' league
The Times
Exemplary
New York Times Book Review
Banks' slow but dogged pursuit of murderers and his meditations on the past make him a figure readers feel they know intimately and trust implicitly and, despite moments of darkness, the series warmth makes you feel all's right with the world. -
